Understanding how zenthariax uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
Last Updated: March 2025
We're being straight with you about how zenthariax.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. This isn't just legal boilerplate — it's a real explanation of what happens when you visit our site.
Think of cookies as small memory aids that help our website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content. They're text files stored on your device, and they make your experience smoother by remembering things like your learning progress or interface preferences.
What Are Cookies, Really?
Cookies aren't anything mysterious. When you visit zenthariax.com, small text files get placed on your computer or mobile device. These files contain bits of information that help us recognize you when you return.
Here's the thing — cookies don't contain personal information like your name or email unless you've specifically provided that information to us. They're more like digital breadcrumbs that help us understand patterns and preferences.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (we call these session cookies), while others stick around for a set period to remember your preferences for next time (persistent cookies).
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we absolutely need to make the site work properly. Without them, basic functions like accessing your learning dashboard or navigating between pages would break. You can't opt out of these — they're fundamental to the site functioning.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like your language selection, text size preferences, or which learning modules you've bookmarked. They make your experience more personalized without tracking you across the internet.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our educational content. Which articles get read completely? Where do people get stuck? This helps us improve our teaching materials and identify confusing sections that need clarification.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity to show you relevant educational content and course recommendations. If you've been reading about discounted cash flow analysis, we might show you related advanced valuation techniques. You can disable these if you prefer.
How We Actually Use This Technology
Let's get specific about what cookies do on zenthariax.com. We're not hiding anything here.
- Keeping you logged into your learning account as you move between pages
- Remembering which courses you've started or completed
- Storing your interface preferences like dark mode or sidebar layout
- Understanding which educational content is most helpful to financial analysts

- Testing different layouts to see which helps students learn more effectively
- Preventing duplicate form submissions when you're signing up for programs
- Recognizing returning visitors to show continued learning pathways
We don't sell your browsing data to third parties. That's not our business model. We're focused on education, not data brokerage.

Third-Party Technologies
We work with some third-party services that set their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video tutorial from an external platform, that platform might set cookies. We choose partners carefully, but you should check their privacy policies too.
These third parties include analytics providers who help us understand site usage and educational content platforms that host some of our learning materials.
Your Rights and Choices
Australian privacy laws give you specific rights regarding your data. You can request to see what information we've collected, ask us to delete certain data, or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time.
If you want to exercise any of these rights, reach out through our contact details below. We typically respond within a few business days with clear next steps.
Important note: If you clear your browser cookies, you'll lose saved preferences and learning progress stored locally. Your account data on our servers stays intact, but local preferences reset.
Changes to This Policy
Technology evolves, and so do our practices. When we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll update this page and note the revision date at the top.
For major changes that affect how we handle your data, we'll notify active users directly through email or an on-site notification. We won't make substantial changes without giving you a heads-up.
